Inventor: MAYNARD LYMAN B
IPC: B60J11/00
Filed: 2000-09-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to the conversion of a vehicle to cover the windows, more specifically to a conversion using opaque panels permanently attached to selected windows of a vehicle. The flexible panels are formed and cut to match the exact dimensions of a window of a particular make and model vehicle. The panels are attached to the exterior of the windows using an appropriate adhesive. The panels prevent people from looking through the covered window. The panels may be painted to match the exterior paint of the vehicle. In addition, the panels provide an increased area for applying advertising to the side and rear of the vehicle.

Title: Device responsive to myoelectrical activity for triggering ventilatory support
Inventor: SINDERBY CHRISTER
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: A device for triggering ventilatory support to assist the patient's respiration. Myoelectrical activity of a patient's respiratory-related muscle is sensed to detect respiratory effort and to produce a myoelectrical signal representative of the sensed muscle myoelectrical activity. Respiratory flow and pressure can also be measured to produce respective respiratory pressure and respiratory flow signals. A logic trigger circuit triggers ventilatory support in relation to the myoelectrical signal, respiratory flow signal and/or respiratory pressure signal to assist respiration of the patient. The amplitude of the myolectrical signal is compared to a given threshold, and ventilatory support is triggered when the amplitude of the myoelectrical signal is higher than this threshold. Increment of myoelectrical signal amplitude can also be detected to trigger ventilatory support, while decrement of the myoelectrical signal amplitude can be detected to request non-triggering of the ventilatory support.
Patent CA-2321211-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHROCK RICHARD R
IPC: B01J31/34
Filed: 1999-02-19
Abstract: A composition and method for the catalytic conversion of a racemic mixture of dienes to a cyclic olefin by a ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction are disclosed. The composition, a transition metal complex with an M=C reaction site, contains a bidentate dialkoxide of at least 80 % optical purity. Because the M=C reaction site is of a sufficient shape specificity, conferred in part by the dialkoxide of sufficient rigidity and an M=N-R1 site, reacting the composition with a mixture of two enantiomeric dienes results in an olefin metathesis product that has at least a 50 % enantiomeric excess of one enantiomer in the mixture. A method is also provided for reacting a composition with a racemic diene mixture to generate a metathesis product that has an enantiomeric excess of at least 50 %.

Title: Method of operating a quarry area
Inventor: WAKSHINSKY KENNETH M
IPC: E21C41/26
Filed: 2001-11-09
Abstract: A method is provided for operating a quarry area having a layer of rock covered by a layer of overburden. The area is first divided into a plurality of strips with overburden from a selected first strip being stripped by depositing the overburden adjacent respective sides of the strip. The layer of rock from the first strip is stripped, blasted and excavated in sections for minimising the collection of water within a given work area. When stripping sections of adjacent strips, the overburden is deposited in the previously excavated strip or previously excavated section of the strip in a manner so as to cover an open rock face of the stripped section before blasting. Covering the rock face contains the rock to be blasted within a given section of the quarry area. Excavating equipment is supported above the rock layer for working below the water table if required. Depositing overburden in previously excavated strips and sections minimises displacement of overburden about the quarry area while maximising the accessible rock of the quarry area.
